Metallics TRS1010 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics TRS1010 threaded rod?
The TRS1010 is 5/8-11 threaded rod, meaning 5/8 inch diameter with 11 threads per inch, which is the standard UNC coarse thread for that diameter. Any 5/8-11 nut, coupling nut, or strut channel spring nut will thread onto it.
2) What else do I need to order to use the TRS1010 rod on a job?
The bundle is bare rod only. You supply the anchoring and the connections: a 5/8 inch concrete anchor, beam clamp, or rod coupling at the structure, 5/8-11 hex nuts and washers at each connection, and 5/8-11 channel spring nuts if you are landing it in strut. Every threaded accessory has to match 5/8-11.
3) Is the TRS1010 threaded rod galvanized or plain steel?
It is steel with a zinc plating (the St-zn in the description). Zinc plating suits dry interior work such as hanging conduit, strut, cable tray, and equipment inside a building. For exterior, damp, or corrosive locations, specify a hot dip galvanized or stainless rod instead.
4) Can I cut the Metallics TRS1010 rod to length for hanging conduit or strut?
Yes. Continuously threaded 10 foot rod is meant to be cut to the drop length you need on site, so one 10 foot stick yields several hangers. Deburr or chase the cut end with a 5/8-11 nut so threads start cleanly.
5) Is 5/8-11 threaded rod the right size for heavy trapeze hangers, or should I use 3/8 or 1/2 inch?
5/8 inch is the step up you reach for on heavy trapeze supports: large conduit racks, big cable tray runs, and suspended equipment. For single runs of small conduit, pipe hangers, or light fixture drops, 3/8-16 or 1/2-13 rod is the usual choice and far easier to handle. Ordering 5/8 where 3/8 was specified also means your spring nuts, couplings, and hanger rod attachments all have to be 5/8.
6) Can two sticks of TRS1010 be joined for a drop longer than 10 feet?
Yes, with a 5/8-11 coupling nut. Because the rod is threaded over its full 10 foot length, two pieces thread into a coupling to make up any drop height, which is how tall mechanical rooms and high bay work get handled.
